$1M warrant for suspect in slaying

STOCKTON - Investigators are asking the public to assist them in apprehending a third person in connection with the shooting death of 22-year-old Marshawn Black.

A $1 million warrant has been issued for the arrest of Brian Oth, 19, who is wanted on suspicion of murder, the Stockton Police Department said. Oth is 5 feet 7 inches tall and 115 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes, authorities said.

Black was shot and killed Nov. 30 at an apartment complex in the 6400 block of North West Lane, police said. Two other suspects have already been arrested in connection with his death, authorities said.

Sister and brother Sarim Chabb, 32, and Sarth Chab, 27, pleaded not guilty to Black's murder last month in San Joaquin County Superior Court. Authorities believe Chabb, a survivor of the 1989 Cleveland Elementary School shooting, recruited her brother to gun down her lover.

Police have not said what role Oth played in Black's death.
